TL:DR
Story Tower is narrative experience, designed for 2 to 4 participants. It loosely follows the rise and fall of a society. Participants play the rolls of uneasy colonists, who at first carve out their niche in an alien ecosystem, but later become power hungry enemies. Their technology advances faster than their moral intelligence and in the end, they destroy themselves and the world.

HOW TO PLAY :

• Participants do not draft.
• Each Chapter of the Story Tower is shuffled and stacked in their respective order.
• Participants draw 7 cards from the top of the Tower.
• The Tower is a shared library from which all participants draw there after.
• Each Participant keeps their own graveyard.
• Participants begin with 60 life.
• Participants are encouraged to play 'normal magic', which is why this cube is categorized as a Judge Tower. The assumptions that players are always trying to kill each other drives the narrative.

When the first colonists landed on the new planet, it was lush and wild. Forests as far as the eye could see. The few artifacts they brought with them gave them the only ability to sustain themselves, as trees were not useful to them. Just a few white rocks to help them build walls to keep the mushrooms at bay.

“Long ago aliens landed here.” would read the plaque that the descendants of the fungus would make in this spot.

NOTES : The meta is simple here. Build. You almost can’t help but just build. The ‘meta’ or archetype of this section only does a few things. Tiny Thallids and token generators that are effectively nullified by OP walls, and a few powerless white creatures. There is almost no incentive to attack…but a few tricks are included.
